My kitchen was still under construction for this video, so I prepurchased my mini bundt cakes, but feel free to make your own! 

Use a tube of green icing and a grass piping tip to create grass on the top of the bundt. 

Then use a toothpick to secure a bunny peep in the grass. Place a few eggs and jelly beans around the bunny. Serve and enjoy!

BANANAS UNITE! 🍌 Make banana sushi with Benjami BANANAS UNITE! 🍌 Make banana sushi with Benjamin and me. This was so much fun! I saw it on Pinterest and knew we had to try it! 

To make banana sushi you just coat a banana in melted chocolate or peanut butter and roll it in sprinkles, mini candies, coconut, Rice Krispies, crushed granola bars or whatever else you can think of! Then you slice it up like sushi pieces and enjoy with your littles. 

We had a blast making a big mess!

Blue Cold Shoulder Maxi

blue cold shoulder maxi

Dress c/o of Tobi | NecklaceΒ (Similar) | Β Bracelet | Β Bracelet | BraceletΒ (Similar) | ShoesΒ (Similar)

It’s officially summer –sort of. Technically, June 21, but it’s hot enough in Atlanta to be officially summer. ThisΒ means all the summer events are in full-swing. Weddings, graduations, festivals, showers, etc. So it’s officially time to update the summer wardrobe.

I am obsessed with this Grecian blue cold-shoulder maxi from Tobi.com. My favorite feature is how it flows behind me when I walk. I feel like Helen of Troy in this dress. Side note, when I introduce myself to people and they look confused because I have anΒ old-lady name, I always follow it up with “like Helen of Troy.” So I’m really fulfilling my destiny with this dress.

I love any cool-colored pieces because I’m so pale and blonde. This piece fits perfectly into my closet. However, it would also look amazing with a tan. It’s just a gorgeous dress all around. Also, remember how I mentioned it’s hot in the ATL? This fabric is light, flowy and breathable, so hashtag blessed, am I right?

How are y’all kicking off summer? I’m spending every spare moment at the pool or drinking aΒ margarita. If it’s a particularly good day then I am doing both!
